Super Bowl LIX will not be Lane Johnson's final game with the Eagles.
Johnson, who turns 35 in May, told reporters he'll be back next season regardless of the outcome of next Sunday's game:
"I'm definitely not retiring after this game, win or lose," said Johnson. "I'm definitely playing next year . . . You get up in age, you take it one year at a time. But yeah, physically, I feel a lot better than I have the past probably couple years, feel really good. For being this late in the year, it's usually not like that."

Drafted fourth overall by the Birds in 2013, Johnson has played under head coaches Chip Kelly, Doug Pederson, and Nick Sirianni. Along with his Pro Bowl selections, he's a two-time first team All-Pro and a three-time second team All-Pro. And he has both a Super Bowl victory and a Super Bowl defeat under his belt.
When asked about fellow veteran Brandon Graham, who is recovering from a torn triceps, Johnson said the D-lineman looked good. "He was out there today, flying around, talkin' mess," Johnson said with a smile.
